Paul Krugman: How Trump's Republicans' Strategies Endanger Democracy in the U.S.
==========
Paul Krugman, an American economist, warns that the tactics employed by Trump and the Republican Party pose a threat to U.S. democracy. Krugman highlights the bipartisan support for the CARES Act during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, which provided financial relief to millions of Americans. He contrasts this with the current political maneuvers by the GOP, which he views as acts of sabotage for political gain. Krugman expresses concern over the GOP's rejection of legislation for border security and foreign aid, seeing it as compromising American interests. He questions the sustainability of American democracy in the face of a party that prioritizes power over governance. In another article, Krugman criticizes the political cynicism surrounding U.S. immigration policy, particularly among Republicans in Congress who obstruct progress on immigration reform while decrying a border crisis. He accuses Trump of strategic opposition to any immigration deal for electoral gain, calling it an act of sabotage against effective immigration management.
